Wonder

We look,
we see,
we wonder!
I wonder.
I wonder
why
I’m here.
I wonder
where here is.
I wonder
where I’m
going.
I look 
all around.
I look at
creation as
it is.
I can see.
I see, but
don’t
understand.
I don’t 
understand
most of
what’s seen.
I don’t 
understand 
all of
what’s unseen.
Gods we
create to
explain and
comfort.
Gods 
an invention 
to get
us 
through.
Gods, an
invention 
to get
us to
immortality.
Then, 
the
gods
will
fade 
away.
